Sandevistan replaced biochemical stimulation with electrical stimulation. It bypassed the transmission of neurotransmitters and directly stimulated neural regions with electric currents, allowing human reaction speeds to exceed their theoretical limit-the limit determined by how fast neurotransmitters traveled through the body.
But superhuman reflexes alone weren't enough. If signals were received faster, the body had to send movement signals just as quickly, and its strength had to support high-speed movement. That was why people needed Combat Cyberware, implanted Cyberware, and more modifications.
The more modifications someone had, the more likely their brain would become confused. Even setting aside psychological issues, when the electrodes generated a current, the Cyberware's electrolytes
None of this was a problem for Rogue AI. It was mechanical.
The only things that determined a robot's movement speed were the processor's speed, the mechanical response speed, the Sensor's response time, and other thoroughly mechanical factors.
Every metric was clearly visible. The processor calculated every limit. Every component.
Reached the limits in Muramasa's eyes-
Sometimes, people were impressive. They could push a particular module in their equipment beyond its usual capabilities and display combat prowess far beyond the average of their peers.
But AI was always in that impressive position!
Muramasa had been born to design weapons. When it took hold of a weapon,
the weapon came completely alive.
Only 11% of Masamune's body was original. Violent impacts and high temperatures would slightly deform the body, pressing against those original parts.
But as Muramasa took over the body, the electric current burned through some of the remaining 11%-parts essential to humans, such as the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
The current coursed through the body, burning away biological tissue. Under pressure from the mechanical components, it was forcibly reforged into conductive fibers. The sensory modulators were completely remade, and information
